You shore do make me smile...

Hello there!

Yesterday, I pulled another mermaid out of the stack of pre-stamped images that sits on my desk. This Mermaid on Rock 2 digi from the, now closed, Star Jam Lines etsy shop caught my eye. She is printed out in a lighter line so I could do some no-line coloring with her and easily cover up the patterning that was drawn onto her tail. I colored this cutie into a sea cave to create a natural frame around her and she is looking quite happy in her secret abode.    :) 

Thanks for stopping by!

When it rains...

Hello friends!

I was in a bit of a bind yesterday when I didn't have enough time before work to stamp up a card to color for my post today. It's moments such as these that I am grateful to have a stack of previously stamped or printed out images over on the side of my desk that I can flip through real quick. This Little Fairy digi from Star Jam Lines caught my eye and sparked an idea for a card, plus she fits into my personal challenge of getting more of the older images in my collection onto cards so win/win. She is printed out in a lighter line so I could do some no-line coloring, especially since I wanted to give her legs dangling below the branch she is resting on. The color palette is full of those pretty, spring pastels that I've been using a lot lately but you'll get no apologies from me on that front, LOL! As much fun as I had coloring this sweetie, it just makes me want to color the other Star Jam Lines digis that are still waiting on my desk even more!    

Thanks for stopping by!
